CSO and Action Medical Research have agreed to jointly fund one or more project grants.  Applicants can apply for up to £200k, the total amount available under this joint funding call for awards is £400,000.

This call will cover translational biomedical research in the fields of child health to include problems affecting pregnancy, childbirth, babies, children and young people, where ‘translational’ is defined as having a clear pathway to patient benefit. Projects will be identified in open competition as part of a response mode round managed by Action Medical Research. Applications for joint funding will be from lead applicants with tenured posts at recognised Scottish Universities, NHS hospitals or research institutes. Collaborative applications from within Scotland are welcome, although the grant (and associated funding arrangements) will be with the lead applicant’s institution.
